Guys Who Feel The Pressure Of Having Children

16 Guys Confess How Weird The Pressure To Have Children Feels

Our society tends to think of the decision to have children as the woman's decision, and we're not entirely wrong. So long as the baby is gestating in a woman's body, you damn well better believe they're going to have the lion's share of the say on when, how and if a pregnancy happens.

But that can also leave out the guy's experience — there's more to his role than just getting her pregnant. And as we'll see in these confessions from users of Whisper, the secret-sharing app, there can be a lot of pressure on guys to have families, too. If anyone's ever suggested you have some kids before you were ready, you'll recognize a lot of these men's fears, concerns and frustrations about rushing into fatherhood too soon.
